House update…

I have shared a few posts about our house, thought I’d share yet another. I need to upload some pictures to show you what we’ve done, especially with our kitchen space. Shame on me I didn’t take before and after images (not that we’ve changed a lot but still)!

This past weekend we added plantation blinds to 5 windows, changed a light fixture, switched out a dinning room table (went with a breakfast nook!) and got an outside storage bench…oh, we also did some tv . . . → Read More: House update…

Fee for Events or Not? (Bloggers input appreciated)

I would truly appreciate your input. For BlogMania we are entering our 5th season and will soon prepare for our 6th. Each season has a different ‘vibe’ but is filled with a sense of consistency. The general consensus is we pitch our events to businesses, they provide an item often for our review and to giveaway and we do a giveaway. However, due to the abundance of giveaways and bloggers and events I think it’s getting a little trickier to gain (ideal) sponsors. I wondered if we found . . . → Read More: Fee for Events or Not?

Credit card reward point question…

Have a question for you that do ‘reward’ type credit cards or some reward buying system. Do you find one card or agency provides better perks than another? What I mean is, we used to use a certain brand and get anywhere from $200 to $400 in gift cards as our rewards. Then the point system changed and the reward point requirement increased…meaning our ‘reward’ was essentially less. If we had 5,000 points we may have gotten $50 in a gift card (or something like . . . → Read More: Credit card reward point question…

Self Invested

There are a ton of things we do for the betterment of ourselves. We enter giveaways, we work out, we take school classes, we tan and we invest…in a lot of things. Some investments mean more than others, some gain more or less or are less aggressive as others. Whatever we do though we want to see gain so we can enjoy the ‘labor’ of that task. I came across SIPPS, which allows you to make decisions about future retirement plans and wanted to share.

Party with the Genie/Barbie

I am very excited about my daughter’s birthday party this year. Rarely do we do anything super big and the last 2 or 3 years we have even combined her party with her dance recitals so that sort of ended up a big deal. This year we have a pink castle bounce house coming and I decided how cool it would be to give her the options of being a princess as well. The problem came in picking a costume that would allow her to . . . → Read More: Party with the Genie/Barbie
